Paragraph


Have you ever been lost in a store? I have and trust me it isn't fun, especially when I do not know the store very well. I hate it when I get butterflies in my stomach and they will not settle until I find my parents.
If I get lost in any store, I get butterflies in my stomach and I feel like I am never going to find my parents again. But I should remember that my parents won't leave without me. But with these two simple steps I can find my parents again and still be safe.
Step one: Stay in one place: When I get lost and do not know where my parents are, I need to remember to stay in one place and DO NOT PANIC!!! That's the key: Not to panic. I need to find a person that works at the store, that is around where I am. When I find someone that works at the store , I will tell the worker my situation and trust the worker that they will help me. They will me to find my parents again. When we find my parents again I need to remember to thank them for helping me.

Step two: Call their parents: Another simple step is to call my parents. If I have a phone with me, I will call my parents and tell them where I am in the store. If I do not have a phone with me, I will find a worker around me and tell them my situation. Then I will ask them if I could use their phone. When I call my parents, again I will tell them that I am O.K., where I am in the store, and who's phone I am using to make this call.

With these steps I can stay calm, be safe, and find my family or parents again. Then maybe I will not get lost again. I just need to remember not to panic! It's as easy as one, two, three!!
